We're not seeing the problem in the parrot executable, just the pbc_to_exe 
executable, which makes me believe that the attached patch will fix the 
problem.

We rearranged the linker flags for the parrot executable to avoid this a while 
back, so we ought to rearrange the linker flags for pbc_to_exe in the same 
way.

Does this fix the problem for anyone still seeing it?
